Symfony and uploadify - file-upload

Question

I want to use uploadify with Symfony 1.4, but so far I couldn't.
Uploadify loads correctly, I choose my files, it says that the files were successfully uploaded, but the are nowhere.
(I'm doing this on localhost)
Is there anybody who met this problem before?
Thanks, Tom
$file = $request->getParameter('file');
$filename = sha1($file->getOriginalName()).$file->getExtension($file->getOriginalExtension());
$file->save(sfConfig::get('sf_upload_dir').'/'.$filename);

Answer 1

in my project session stored in cookies so I found solution by create extra session storage class
class MySessionStorage extends sfSessionStorage
{
public function initialize($options = null)
{
$request = sfContext::getInstance()->getRequest();
// work-around for uploadify
if ($request->getParameter('uploadify') == "onUpload")
{
$sessionName = $options["session_name"];
if($value = $request->getParameter($sessionName))
{
session_name($sessionName);
session_id($value);
}
}
parent::initialize($options);
}
}
then changed factories.yml to
all:
storage:
class: MySessionStorage
and then "uploader" param will like this
uploader : '<?php echo url_for("attachments/upload?uploadify=onUpload&" . session_name() . "=" . session_id(), true)?>',

I can only guess that it's because you're trying to upload while logged into a system, but flash does not inherit session data from the browser, this means you will always be denied permission to whatever function you are trying to access since symfony thinks you're not logged in.
So you need to manually set variables in order for flash to use the same login session as the browser:
jQuery Code (needs to be in a php file, will not work in a js file):
$('#file_upload').uploadify({
.... config here
'scriptData': { '<?php echo session_name() ?>': '<?php echo session_id() ?>' }
});
